Power transformer is very important in electric power system due to its function to raise or lower the voltage according to its designation. On the power side, the power transformer serves to raise voltage to be transmitted to the transmission line. On the transmission side, the power transformer serves to distribute the voltage between the main substations or down to the distribution voltage. On the distribution side, the stresses are channeled to large customers or lowered to serve small and medium customers. As the power transformer is so importance, it is necessary to protect against disturbance, as well as routine and periodic maintenance, so that the power transformer can operate in accordance with the planned time. Some factors that affect the duration of the power transformer is the ambient temperature, transformer oil temperature, and the pattern of load. Load that exceeds the maximum efficiency of the transformer which is 80% of its capacity will cause an increase in transformer oil temperature. Transformer oil, other than as a cooling medium also serves as an insulator. Increasing the temperature of transformer oil will affect its ability as an isolator that is to isolate the parts that are held in the transformer, such as iron core and the coils. If this is prolonged and not handled properly, it will lead to failure / breakdown of insulation resulting in short circuit between parts so that the power transformer will be damaged. PLN data indicates that the power transformer is still burdened exceeding maximum efficiency especially operating in the work area of PLN South Bali Area. The results of this study, on distribution transformers with different loads, in DS 137, DS 263 and DS 363, show that DS 363 transformer with loading above 80% has the shortest residual life time compared to DS 263 and DS 137 which loading less than 80%.

Abstract Power transformer is very important in electric power system due to its function to raise or lower the voltage according
to its designation. On the power side, the power transformer serves to raise voltage to be transmitted to the transmission line. On
the transmission side, the power transformer serves to distribute the voltage between the main substations or down to the
distribution voltage. On the distribution side, the stresses are channeled to large customers or lowered to serve small and medium
customers. As the power transformer is so importance, it is necessary to protect against disturbance, as well as routine and
periodic maintenance, so that the power transformer can operate in accordance with the planned time. Some factors that affect the
duration of the power transformer is the ambient temperature, transformer oil temperature, and the pattern of load. Load that
exceeds the maximum efficiency of the transformer which is 80% of its capacity will cause an increase in transformer oil
temperature. Transformer oil, other than as a cooling medium also serves as an insulator. Increasing the temperature of
transformer oil will affect its ability as an isolator that is to isolate the parts that are held in the transformer, such as iron core and
the coils. If this is prolonged and not handled properly, it will lead to failure / breakdown of insulation resulting in short circuit
between parts so that the power transformer will be damaged. PLN data indicates that the power transformer is still burdened
exceeding maximum efficiency especially operating in the work area of PLN South Bali Area. The results of this study, on
distribution transformers with different loads, in DS 137, DS 263 and DS 363, show that DS 363 transformer with loading above
80% has the shortest residual life time compared to DS 263 and DS 137 which loading less than 80%.

I. INTRODUCTION1
Power transformer is used to transform power. In power
plant, this is used to increase power transferred to
transmission line. In transmission line, however, this is used
to transfer power between substations. In the distribution
side, power is distributed to main customers or reduced to
become low power to serve middle-level or low-level
customer. As power transformer is so importance, it is
highly required to protect and maintain it, therefore, their
lifetime can be extended.
There are factors to influence lifetime of power
transformer: ambient temperature, transformer’s oil
temperature, and loading pattern. Loading process in
distribution transformer influences voltage and current in
transformer’s coil. In ideal condition, transformer is loaded
up to 80% of its capacity due to its efficiency and losses.
Power transformer management is related to the routine
maintenance, for preventive, corrective, or detective.
Shorten lifetime or damaged transformer caused by isolation
fail in parts of transformer such as iron core and coils. This
can happen due to the function of isolation to break parts
with voltage to avoid flash over or spark over. Isolation fail
can be caused by some factors, such as time, reduced-

dielectric strength, extra voltage and high current. Extra
voltage in isolator, is a stress that must be counter by
isolator for not being fail when isolating current. Inside
isolation, electrons hardly link to their molecule, where this
link forces stress caused by voltage. If this link is broken,
isolation is disappeared, and it is fulfilled with power, there
are moving electrons from one molecule to the others,
where therefore, leaked current is created. On the other
hand, High voltage that constantly flows inside coils cause
temperature escalation.
PLN Area Bali Selatan says that in 2016, there are
distribution transformers with load more than 80%, exceeds
their capacity. Based on these facts, this research aims to
analyze effect of loading to life time of power transformer
by comparing power transformer with load of 50% - 60%,
70% - 80%, and 80% - 90% of its capacity. Results of this
research can be used as a base of power transformer
replacement or mutation, therefore power transformer
damage that influences service continuity can be minimized.
There are previous studies related to power transformer
lifetime and its load factor:
1. Janny Olny Wuwung, 2010. Here, effect of loading
process to temperature increment in oil-submerged
transformer is studied. Results of this study show
that increment of loading factor raises aging factor
that decrease the lifetime of a transformer.
2. Syafriyudin, 2011. In this study, transformer time of
use prediction is calculated from daily voltage and
current. Results of this study is that time of use of a
transformer is reduced 8 months out of its normal
time.
3. Sofyan and Afryastuti Herawati, 2015, studied effect
of, loading process to efficiency and lifetime of
transformer based on IEC 60076-7. Results of their
research show that the highest efficiency of
96.66% occurs in peak load.
4. Winarso, 2014. Time of use of a transformer is
predicted from daily voltage and current
calculation. Results of this paper shows that for
transformer with 5 years lifetime, it can be used for
only 4 years and 7 months.
II. BASIC CONCEPT
Transformer is a robust magnetoelectric tool used to
change voltage. In general, Transformer composed by core
formed by iron plate and two coils, primary and secondary
coil. Ratio of voltage change depends ratio of those two
coils (Abdul Kadir). Turn ratio of transformer is a deciding
factor of the transformer type. If the turn ratio is lower than
one, it is a step-up transformer. Otherwise, turn ratio that is
higher than one means that the transformer is a step down
one (Sumanto).
Distribution transformer used to distribute power to
customers. A proper election of distribution transformer
capacity is highly decided by the supplied load; therefore, it
can support the continuity of service, reliability, and
transformer lifetime. Distribution transformer reach
maximum efficiency when it is loaded until 80 percent of its
capacity. When the load is too high, it is required to change
the transformer, to insert new transformer, or to shift
transformer (low-loaded transformer is shifted to serve
high-loaded transformer or vice versa). Equation 1 is used
to calculate distribution transformer rating where pf is
power factor (cos phi = 0.85).
Distribution transformer rating (KVA) = Load (KW)/pf (1)
Prediction of Transformer lifetime can be analyzed
through error value of transformer load. Error value of
transformer is counted by using Equation 2.

If load current IL is current that transfers power to load in
a balance mode, therefore, in the curent power
transmission with unbalance mode, value of load current
can be stated with a, b, and c coefficients as it are shown
in equation 8 where IR, IS, dan IT are load current in each

Due to the imbalanced load in each phase of secondary
transformer, it is current to traverse the neutral of
transformer, where this current causes losses. Losses
value in the neutral of transformer can be calculated using
equation 10. In this equation, PN is losses in the neutral
conductor of transformer (Watt), IN is current arises in
neutral conductor (Ampere), and RN is resistance in
neutral conductor (Ohm)

Afterwards, percentage of transformer lifetime is
calculated through equation 11
Transformer lifetime (%) = 100(%) – E(%) (11)
If it is predicted that transformer can be used until 10
years, therefore its lifetime is calculated as folows.
Lifetime (day) is lifetime(%) multiply by 3600 days. Or it
can be calculated by lifetime (year) which is lifetime(day)
divide by 3600 days.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
Loading in power transformer affects lifetime. The higher
the load the shorter the lifetime. If it is assumed that power
transformer can be used for 10 years, transformer DS 137
with brand of B.D then can be used for 11.58 years when it
is loaded only 50% to 60% of its capacity. Meanwhile, DS
263 with brand of Unindo with load of 70% to 80% of its
capacity, can be used for 6.73 years. Lastly, DS 363 with
brand of Trafindo, where it is loaded with 80% to 90% of
its capacity, its lifetime is only 2.96 years.

The power system is a network of components having specific operational limits such that any violation of these limits during their operation could lead to more damage in the grid. The grid in Cameroon has been facing several undesired loading events at some sections of the network and the utility company has over the years, employed measures to mitigate these issues. This study has used the ETAP software to conduct a contingency analysis on the largest independent grid in Cameroon, supplying 6 regions in Cameroon. Seventeen transformer outage events in the network were used to conduct the N-1 scenario-based contingency, so that the vulnerability of the network can be evaluated. The fast decoupled power flow method was continuously applied on the network, and the different contingency scenarios were ranked using a combination of 4 performance indices. These four performance indices gave information on the impact of the various transformer outage scenarios on the grid. The four indices were added to give a combined value, and the outages were ranked in order of severity based on this combined index. A major contribution of this paper is the use of four scalar indices to classify the critical elements in the grid of a developing country. The initial load flow simulation of the network showed that 12 nodes had under voltages, while 3 transformers and one transmission line were overloaded. The Ngousso corridor suffered one of the worst under voltage situation during the initial power flow study. This is an indication that the utility company needs to undertake intensive network upgrade and implore measures to increase power generation to support the growing loads. It was observed that all the contingency scenarios experienced convergence. The Oyomabang transformer 1 had the highest combined index of 71.20, showing a huge negative impact on the network as a result of the outage of the transformer. This was followed by the Oyomabang transformer 2 with a combined index of 48.63. The results will be very useful to utility operators in prioritizing transformers in the network with high risk of causing huge impact on the network in case of an outage.

The demand for increased voltage in renewable energy sources is relatively high. This study examines the rapid development of technology considering the use of voltage-increasing transformers. Voltage regulator circuits are generally used to stabilize the output voltage of the rectifier according to the amount of input from the transformer. However, components for high-voltage stabilizer circuits are rare, which becomes an obstacle to the stabilization of the rectifier output. This study aimed to determine the performance of the designed rectifier circuit against a non-center tap step-up direct current (DC) 400 V transformer and compare the measurement results to manual calculations. The research method is a direct comparison between the input and output voltage values of the transformer after going through a rectifier circuit. This experiment was conducted using the repeatability method three to five times for each voltage variation on the transformer. The voltage variations successfully created are 0 to 50, 0 to 100, 0 to 200, and 0 to 400 V. The output test results from the DC transformer and rectifier circuit show linear results and an increase in peak-to-peak voltage data between the transformer and rectifier outputs by 3.8%.

Uncontrolled charging of numerous electric vehicles (EV) can cause problems on distribution transformer and feeder voltage. Demand response (DR) can reduce the loading by incentivizing EV owners to change their charging schedules. DR is composed of two mechanisms, price-based and incentive-based. For the price-based DR, EV owners manage their charging according to price signals to save their charging costs. However, the accumulated loads of the distribution network may unexpectedly increase. This paper develops a combination approach of price-based and incentive-based demand response in a hierarchical manner to alleviate the distribution network problems from passenger EV charging in retail electricity markets. On the bottom level, the EV owners optimize their charging schedules according to the day-ahead real-time pricing (DA-RTP). In case that the accumulated demand is larger than the regulated value, the top-level centralized control will be initiated with incentive direct load control (DLC). To manage on dynamic characteristics of the distribution loads, heuristic algorithm is applied to reduce the run times. The developed approach is simulated with two scenarios regarding structures of retail electricity markets. Both scenarios consist of agents that interact with residential customers in providing the electrical energy and balancing supplies and loads in the distribution networks. The simulation results show that the approach can relieve the problems. Uncertainties due to traffic condition, charging and driving behavior are included in the simulations. Financial aspects of stakeholders are also analyzed.

The growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) has the potential to complicate distribution network operations. When a large number of electric vehicles are charging at the same time, the system load can significantly increase. This problem is exacerbated when charging is done concurrently in the evening, which coincides with peak load times. To prevent the increase in peak load and distribution operation stress, EV charging must be coordinated to achieve financial and technical objectives. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of financially driven EV charging scheduling algorithms. The contribution of this study is that the scheduling algorithm considers EV usage behavior based on real data as well as considers the state-of-charge (SoC) target set by EV owners. The proposed algorithm seeks to minimize the total charging cost incurred by EV owners using mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). The impact of the coordinated charging scheduling on the system demand profile and real distribution system operation metrics are also evaluated. The simulation result tested on the Bantul Feeder 05 system demonstrates that coordinated charging can reduce the charging costs by 57.3%. Furthermore, the peak load is reduced by 5.2% while also improving the load factor by 3.5% as compared to uncoordinated scheduling. Based on the power flow simulation, the proposed algorithm can reduce distribution transformer loading by 0.5% and improve voltage quality by 0.1% during peak load. This demonstrates that coordinated EV charging benefits not only the EV users but also the distribution system operator by preventing system operation issues.

High efficiency electrical equipment usage is an alternative solution to support carbon emission reduction in Indonesia. In this research, new distribution transformer design using amorphous metal core (AMDT) was evaluated by conducting laboratory testing and field installation. According to the laboratory test result upon 4 samples, AMDT had 60.91 – 67.35% smaller no-load loss but 0.58 – 9.79% higher load loss compared to national standard requirement (although the load loss value of AMDT was within total losses tolerance). One AMDT sample failed during impulse test which should be followed up further by conducting insulation testing and design evaluation. Since the AMDT sample used 5-legged core design, the weight of the AMDT was heavier than conventional cold rolled grained oriented (CRGO) silicon steel transformer; thus, the construction planning and design should be re-evaluated for AMDT installation. According to total cost calculation based on life cycle approach by using obtained data and related assumptions, it was found that AMDT would potentially give higher economic benefit than conventional CRGO silicon steel transformer when the load factor (LF) is below 79% for 100 kVA AMDT, below 78% for 50 kVA AMDT, and below 68% for 25 kVA AMDT.
